One of these children may be named BEVERLY. Bertha Anne BANGO OR BONGO may have been married to a man named ANDERSON (no first name known). Bertha stated two times in documents that she had 2 children and one died at birth and the other died young. I am trying to locate the info on these two silbings for my friend (Cam) who was born to Bertha BANGO in 1941. She would love to find the info, the graves and put flowers on her siblings graves. My friend Cam was born to Bertha but gave her up to a foster family to raise her till she married. Bertha Anne BANGO OR BONGO was born in Alaska and then moved to Washington State (possibly King or Kitsap Countied but unknown for certain). We do have all the family history but for these two children's history. PLEASE HELP. My friend is not young and needs to find her siblings. Thank you so much Pat

> Yes, Horace L. and Electa Maria "Mary" (Grandy) > Quimby were Parthena's parents. Again, you may have this, but in the 1880 census I find Maria 56, widowed, and "Barthena" 15, living in Butteville, Marion County, Oregon (south of Portland). Also there were Joseph Wolf 28, George Neardnich?? 26 and ?? ??, 29, all three were probably boarders in the house. It could be "possible" that Charles Lindsey boarded there later and met Parthena/Barthena. Don't assume this of course. Oregon Death Index shows a Maria Quimby, death8 Dec 1918 in Linn. The 1880 census also finds Benjamin 29 and Charles 23 living in Tygh, Wasco, Oregon (east of Portland) at the home of R. Peter Wallace. Both were laborer's. The Western States Marriage Records http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/fhc/gbsearch.htm found Charles M. Lindsey marriage to Carthenia Quimley in Umatilla Co, Oregon on 3 July 1882. This is the marriage record of which you spoke. Umatilla is close to Walla Walla. Now, is this Carthenia Quimley your Parthena Quimby? Or, ? In the 1890 Veterans Schedules, I find a Charles Lindsey, living in Portland, Multnomah Co, Oregon. He was listed as serving as a Private, Company A, 14th Ill Volunteer Cavalry. Serving from October 15, 1862 to June 25, 1865. The National Park Service Civil War site http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ shows a Charles M. Lindsey with 14th Regiment, Illinois, Cavalry. The site gives a bit of history of the unit and listing of the 2740 soldiers. I tried to find a Charles in Illinois census of 1860 and 1870, but none were of enough age or info to be correct. Oregon Death Index shows a Charles Lindsey, death 20 Dec 1923 in Portland, OR, certificate number 2951. There were 3 others but all died after 1979. The Portland city directory shows a Charles M. Lindsey, rooming at 355R in 1891, he was an expressman. If this is "your" Charles, he may have been single. Someone could check the Portland City Directories for Charles in later years to see if Parthena/etc shows up as his spouse. I looked at Parthena "anylastname", Barthena ALN, Charles, Chas, etc. I think I've exhaused my Internet resources. There is a Quimby family in Walla Walla in 1880, but no connection seen; same for Lindsey-there were a couple there; but no connection seen. Ron Bestrom

I did find my grammas name in an old phone book and have a copy of that. But the leads are little. I have found skittralls from the UK to England. Looks like it may be a big search. I just thought someone else might be looking too and we could put the pieces together. I do appreciate your kind reply though. You are very prompt and I can see that you are dedicated to your work.

You provided NO information, nothing that you had or had not. In genealogy, it is like a crime scene. You CAN'T find the suspect without the clues. I provided all I could find in Washington State. Apparently they came from somewhere else. Sorry, that is all there is in Washington State. I'd suggest first asking your family, if you can, then go back from there. Provide what you have and what you want, and where you want to go.

I found a Parthena Quimby in WIsconsin in the 1870 census at age 5, DOB circa 1864. Her parents were Horace and Maria. I don't know if you need her info or not. BUT, in order to find information, you have to provide all the clues that will help. You can't find the suspect without knowing the crime scene. So, if this is the right person, finding her later in life, may lead to info on him. She was living in Dupont, Wisconsin. So, if Charles served in the Civil War, his unit wasn't from Washington, it could have been Wisconsin. The 15th Wisconsin is a famous unit. There were 11 Charles Lindsey records in Civil War; 1 Charles M from 14th Illinois cavalry, 1 Charles M, Tennessee, Confederate. No Wisconsin. There is a series of books on the Civil War, the War of the Rebellion. It has a search engine "http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/moa/moa_browse.html" Charles Lindsey had 8 matches. I didn't check "Chas Lindsey". You might wish to explore on it. Also, if they were married in 1882 in Walla Walla, you might wish to do research on the Whitman Mission. Although the mission outdates the year of marriage, her family may have been involved from the earlier days.

Gloria; These messages were about places that were as such just 1 week before the big disaster of the Middle East. I am sure that with so many lives lost that this will go down in GENEALOGY with thousands of people doing GENEALOGY. that lost families, friends etc. It is a concern with Genealogy as I am sure most all Genealogists will be documenting it somewhere in their Genealogy especially when they may have had relatives that were there, as a survivor, injured, and or casualty. My cousin was there just days before this happened and sent those messages about the same area's that are gone now due to the disaster. Never more to be the same as then. His pictures as just before the disaster are history and Genealogy. Are any references to anyone being swept out of this world from it going to be banned from Genealogy Sites???? It is a cause of death and destruction. I am sure also that many people would like to see these pictures sent to me of these places taken days before it happened showing them. It is ironic that they planned their long awaited trip when they did and returned home just days before or they no doubt would also may have been some of the injured or casualties. I wonder how many other's agree with me that this disaster will be mentioned in thousands of genealogies being done today. I have seen mention of the war's, Pearl Harbor , Battle of Bulge, Normandy Beachhead and many other items of history that family members were in. I also had a cousin who survived Pearl Harbor. A husband that went from The Normandy Beachhead clear to the Siegfried line through France to Germany survived 5 tanks destroyed, and more in the Civil War and much more. Sorry if you think it not a piece of Genealogy to thousands of people. I see much about the other Tornado's, war's accidents etc. I also had relatives killed in tornados in 1948 in Iowa. and more. Causes of death are a part of genealogy. I hope you can see the worth and ref . to Genealogy in this. I welcome any comments from anyone and your feelings now that the Genealogy aspect of this is stated. Or Are you and all going to ban mentioning any of these kinds of things in Genealogy sites???? If these items are not connected to Genealogy then I am sorry and we should make note and not mention anymore about any of the Civil War, disaster's as ,famine, storms, accidents , illness's and on and on. Everyone should be made aware so they don't post any info as such. I didn't think it inappropriate or I wouldn't have posted it. Sorry. I thought that people would like to have a idea as to what the places were like days before the terrible thing.

It > looks more like personal messages being posted. > shirley It may not be genealogy and may not be within guidelines...but do you KNOW about what is going on in with the earthquake and tsunami ? Do you KNOW that this person is writing about someone that may have died in it. She is feeling a deep emotional concern over people that had recently written from the disaster zone. Currently we are talking about at LEAST 60,000 people killed, and tens of millions homeless. What an uncaring, unsympathetic remark. I think it's sometimes okay to think about people in need and disasters, rather than those that happen to have died years ago in Washington. Maybe you should think about contributing to a charity for those persons rather than complain about their writings. Ron Bestrom

Before the disaster. was there before 18th Dec. 2004. This is also from Wally Barnett same day. as he was catching of updating us at at home. But they were where the disaster struck before it did. Maxine Wilton willma@sprynet.com Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 2:30 PM Subject: Kuala Lumur, Malaysia Kuala Lumpur . . . How poetically that trills off the tongue. A remarkable city blessed with architectural diversity, ethnic harmony, and great natural beauty. Modern skyscrapers stand side by side with relics of British, Dutch, and Portuguese colonization. It has a population of over a million consisting of Malays, Chinese, Indians, Arabs and Europeans all getting along together quite well. We zipped into the big city from Port Kelang, about 40 minutes away, encountering a stateside blend of traffic. Plenty of cars, the usual number of buses and trucks, and many fewer motorcycles than we had seen in Saigon. We take a tour of the city, and then go on a walking tour to special places of interest including the City Central Shopping Mall where goods from all over Asia are offered for sale. We also visist a Chinese temple and a Hindu temple. On the way into town we see four cemeteries on a hill, all seperated by race. Our tour guide is Chines so naturally he takes us to his Uncle Charlie's place for lunch. It's served family style and it's very good. Our tour guide pays the tab. After lunch we spend an hour or so in the Chinatown area of Kuala Lumpur. We wander through international food markets where everything is fresh fruits and vegetables and raw fish, fowl, and meat. The blending of smells, odors, and aromas from everything is an experience unto itself. Then another hour walking the street where open air vendors sell everlything under the sun from jewelry to clothing to luggage to works of art to cameras, and the list goes on and on. I believe this is the most international city we have ever seen. It certainly is the crossroads of Asia where merchants have been plying their trade for centuries.

What does this have to do with genealogy in Washington state??? It looks more like personal messages being posted. shirley Will wrote: >Before the disaster. > There before 18th Dec.

This is where they went from the Islands on way home. I think.Maxine Wilton willma@sprynet.com Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 2:30 PM Subject: Good Morning Viet Nam This morning our ship docked in the small port city of Phu My and by 8am most of the ship's passengers had departed on a caravan of buses for the one hour ride into Saigon. Sure, they changed the name to Ho Chi Min city a long time ago but the locals still prefer the older, more romantic name of Saigon. Thailand may be the land of elephants but this is definitely the land of motorcycles. Almost all of them were the smaller variety of Hondas. No big gas hogs here. They all had the small engine between 60 and 90 cc's and were all of the step-in variety, like a bike. As soon as we hit the main highway (no freeways here) it became apparent that we had stepped down into a third-world country. The country homes were built of bamboo with thatched roofs, things were not neat and clean, and the only traffic was trucks and motor cycles. Very few cars. To own one here you must really be rich. There wasn't even much traffic as we approached the city. As soon as we crossed the bridge over the Saigon River things got better. By that I mean that this big metropolis is open for business, communists or not. There are at least five five-star hotels and as many other tall buildings as one might expect of a city this size. Now we see more private cars as well as taxis, busses, trucks, and zillions of motorcycles. Everybody drives one except the poor people who are still stuck with their bicycles. Quite a few of those around the city as well. No subways.
